A movie that takes place where you’re from.

Not exactly where I’m from (not a NY native), but it starts near Nogales AZ, where I was born and raised, and it ends in Queens where I live now.

It feels like my phone is trying to be mean to me.

Death Cab for cutie really fills the Weezer shaped hole in my heart.

This year’s pan de muerto and ofrenda with @annevazquez.bsky.social! I feel like we finally figured out how to make the pan de muerto good.

Also featured is our daughter’s American Girl doll dressed up for Día de Muertos!

I think a coffee shop is more enjoyable when they serve you your drink in a real cup.

Had an amazing bowl of pork broth at Okdongsik in Bayside, Queens. A really lovely lunch on a gloomy day.

It’s a very weird list right now.

Why do chemical carts have drink holders?

You can’t call the company foundation if it’s purpose is to make robots! A misreading of Asimov.

Robots renting is very interesting. Related, I have wondered at what point our organic chemistry labs will include some introduction to automated synthesis.

I think it’s weird that people take zoom calls in coffee shops.

In an episode of Better Offline @vicmsong.bsky.social described how she turns the flattery down to 1%. I think if LLMs are going to be useful, they need to function more like a robot and not a pretend human. Otherwise it’s just another app designed to keep you using it for hours.

Never noticed this before, but there are “baby” stalactites forming on the arch of the American Museum of Natural History 77th St. entrance.

My daughter is going to summer camp at the museum and I noticed these for the first time.

Forgot the best city flag, Chicago!

The new Jurassic World movie put up a Titanosaur in Rockefeller Center! This should be the new thing, just putting up life sized dinosaurs all over major American cities. No movie tie in, just dinosaurs statues everywhere.

Does anyone pick the gold plated ice cream? I’ll pay for fancy ice cream that tastes good! Same with the foi gras burger. I’ll totally get a fancy burger, but I don’t like the cruelty of foi gras. I feel like the test needs some different options.

Anyway, apperantly I’m solidly mid.

I was stopped at a light and I think the guy next to me was mad.

I couldn't tell. My window wouldn't go down. He kept pointing at the space in front of me, talking at me, pointing to his head, think to call me stupid.

kept trying pantomime that I can't hear him and that my window doesn't work.

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know.

Having the top match be Tyrion seems less than good.

They keep getting sick every three months. We can't figure out why. We know the West Indian lilac is poisonous but the animals don't eat it.
